correspondence that the breeding and
breeder of the dam of Ma or Edsall are a

pedigree of this mare is concerned, it is
another of his manufactured Messenger

rible shipwreck, accompanied by the loss of
thirty three lives, which took place of the
coast Of Oregon about thirty miles north OF

In by four Kykuginot Indians, who arrived
At Victoria yesterday morning, having occu-
pied ten days in making the overland
journey from the scene Of the wreck For
some time past considerable anxiety had
been felt regarding the schooner Active,
having on board five Swedes and twenty
Clayaquete Indians, and which was long
overdue. The schooner was owned by Cult
man & Co., Of Victoria, and was registered
ut 40 tons. Last week Mr.. Frank, one of
the owners, went up tho west coast on the
government steamer Sir James Douglas in
search Of news Of the missing vessel, but has
not yet returned The Active was engaged
in general coast trade, and had valuable
cargo of assorted merchandise on board,
which, however, was not insured
The schooner appears to have been caught

Of the month and to have been dashed on
shore where she speedily went to pieces, all

known no one witnessed the disaster, the In

THE FISHERY DISPUTE.
cANADA's PROPOSITION CONSIDERED
THE HEIGHT or iMPUDENcE.


Opinion of Prominent Gloucester Busl-
ness Man on the subject-The Fisheries
Practically worthless to American
Fisher,nen-Some startling Figures.
GLOUCESTER, Mass, April 2 The propo-
sition Of the Canadians to revert to the
Washington treaty without any pecunisry
benefit, is considered here at this time to be
the height Of impudencs. A prominent bus
mess man said to-day: "Why should the
United States admit the products Of Canada
free, while they charge ON every thing the
United States sends there. The Canadians
have come to the conclusion that their fish
cry privileges have deprecated Is, 5OO, 900
since the Washington treaty was made, or
. palpable fraud was committed, and now
they are willing to sacrifice pecuniary worth
which they claim for their fsheries, IL they
can only have our immense markets.
This shows concludvely that their fish,
cries arc practically worthless to American
fishermen ct this point Our fishermen do
not seek worthless privileges and do not want
to have to compete with Canadians II for
eigners are to be allowed to have the mar
kets OF the United States free. This II an
important question to the fishermen Of the
United States and therefore to all the peo-
pie. Last year the United States RENTED
in duties12.0, 600 to Canadians on twenty
two million pounds Of fresh fish, for which
no equivalent was received. Canada charges
duty of one cent per pound on fresh Hsh,
while their fresh fish b admitted duty free In
the United States Because we paid 90, 5OO-
600 for privilege which was Of no value to
the United States il is no reason why we
should do it again. What does the Wash
ington treaty meant Simply this, that
under its provisions the United States would
remit In duties On Canadian fish 81 ,O00, 900
year, and the Canadians are very willing to
have it this way. But the fishermen Of this
country have been fighting against this very
idea. How does the United States protect
her fisheries? Foreign fresh fish II admitted
free, and on dry fish duty Of ffty cents per
hundred is charged.
Fish bureau show how much better all other
countries protect their fishermen by duties
on imported fish: France, fresh fish, forty
cents per 100 pounds; Goldfish, dry, salted or
smoked, including stock fish and kept fish,
e4.O per 100 pounds; other fish, dry, sailed,
or smoked, eighty cents per 100 pounds;
picked fish, eighty cents per 100 pounds.
Germany, fresh fish free; sailed, except her
ring imported In barrels, $3.50 per 100
pounds; canned fish, $3.50 per 100 pounds.
Denmark, fresh fish duty free; dried or
sailed, &L7O per 100 pounds. Italy, fresh
fish duty free; dried or smoked, forty-four
cents per 100 pounds; preserved in oil or
boxes, eighty seven cents per 100 pounds
Netherlands. canned fsh, $455 per 100
pounds Portugal and other countries have
equally strong protection
